There are 47 numbers Find the probability that i will pick the 6 winning numbers in a draw

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: You have six numbers on your ticket. In drawing the first number from the collection of 45, one of those six numbers must be drawn in order for you to still have a chance of winning the big prize. So following the draw, the probability is only 6/45 (or 1/9) that you’re still in the game.

You can now see that on each successive draw the probability steadily drops- to 5/44, 4/43, 3/42, 2/41, and for the last number 1/40. As other answers have stated, there are 8,145,060 possible draws of six numbers and only one makes you a winner.

If you bought ten tickets for every drawing, the odds reach a 50% chance of having won at about 520,550 drawings. Assuming two drawings per week, the chance of winning reaches 50% in about 5,200 years.

Of course, SOMEONE will win and if you don’t play, your chance of winning is zero. It’s kind of fun to occasionally buy lottery tickets just for the dream of winning but don’t spend a lot of money on them.

Let's find the value of x

Since the sum of internal angles of a triangle is 180°

therefore,

$\hookrightarrow \: (2x - 2) \degree + (x + 5) \degree + 90 \degree = 180 \degree$

$\hookrightarrow \: 2x - 2 \degree + x + 5\degree = 180\degree - 90\degree$

$\hookrightarrow \: 3x + 3\degree = 90\degree$

$\hookrightarrow \: 3(x + 1) = 3(30)$

$\hookrightarrow \: x + 1\degree = 30\degree$

$\hookrightarrow \: x = 29\degree$

I need help please.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of radicals/ exponents

$a^{m}$ × $a^{n}$ = $a^{(m+n)}$

$a^{\frac{m}{n} }$ ⇔ $\sqrt[n]{a^{m} }$

Simplifying each term

7 $\sqrt{x^{3} }$ = 7 $x^{\frac{3}{2} }$

x $\sqrt{9x}$

= x × $\sqrt{9}$ × $\sqrt{x}$

= x × 3 × $x^{\frac{1}{2} }$

= 3 × $x^{(1+\frac{1}{2}) }$

= 3 $x^{\frac{3}{2} }$

Subtracting the 2 simplified like terms, that is

7 $x^{\frac{3}{2} }$ - 3 $x^{\frac{3}{2} }$

= 4 $x^{\frac{3}{2} }$ ← return to radical form

= 4 $\sqrt{x^{3} }$

Last sunday 1575 people visited the amusement park 56% was adults 16% were teenagers and 28% are children ages 12 and under find

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

984 adults

281 teens

492 children

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply the total by the corresponding percentage to find the number. We assume the percentages have been rounded, so some adjustment is needed in the result of the multiplication.

{adults, teens, children} = 1757 × {.56, .16, .28} = {983.92, 281.12, 491.96}

≈ {984, 281, 492}
